Where do I begin? I got an offer on my house. The offer was great compared to the the other offer they gave me a year prior. This time it was actually market value. There was the 6% Opendoor "fee" off of that price. No biggie because I would be paying a total of 6% to realtors anyways.

They came to do the inspection and did it with a fine tooth comb. ANY TINY THING they wrote down and the repair estimates were insane! They wanted $4000 credit for all that. I told them I would fix them. They wanted proof via pictures and receipts. Ok, fine. I do half of the stuff, and after sending the pictures, nobody ever sent a new addendum reflecting that the credit I had to pay them was lessened.

THREE DAYS BEFORE CLOSING I contacted them over and over and over because, without this addendum and confirmation, I wasn't going to rent an apartment, U-Haul, lose of on first last month's rent, etc. The day of closing, still no word! Can you imagine if I would have moved out? They wouldn't even return my calls on the close date! I had to call Title and cancel because of no communication by Opendoor.

As soon as I canceled with Title, Opendoor called me. They said my case manager Guy had been on vacation that's why he never got my pictures of my repairs. That was complete B.S. because the first like 4 times I sent him all of the pictures, he kept asking me to send them again instead of just looking back through his email and finding them, so each time I had to send them over and over and over thinking that this guy was never going to even look at them. Also, who goes on vacation when a house they are covering is about to close?

The date of closing after I called Escrow to cancel I was asked again to send the pictures! Finally about two weeks later we were ready to close again. Because Opendoor took so long on their end, we had to extend the close date, and Opendoor said we had to have a new inspection! So after all of that time because they took so long to actually look at the pictures and make a new addendum for the credit they wanted, now I have to have a new inspection. So what? Is everything going to happen again and all these credits are going to happen again? We were absolutely furious. We fought so hard to get that credit back and now they're saying that we have to have another inspection because it took too long to close? I feel that they did this to punish us for not giving them all the credit.

We had a new inspection with an old guy who wrote down even more stuff than the first time and who actually damaged my house and created a leak in the backyard. I had two faucets outside, one which I never used since being in the house because it was right next to the AC unit. Well, he turned that on and apparently when he tried to turn it off, it was leaking, so instead of being a great guy and letting us know, he just left it and we didn't even discover it until days later, and at that point it had gone underneath the AC unit and flooded a little portion of the yard.

It was only several days before closing again, and we were still waiting to hear about the inspection results of the second inspection it was getting down to the wire, and we were nervous to find a new place because for all we knew Opendoor was not going to pull through again. All of it started to sound like a sham for more credit, and finally, I wrote to him and told him that I thought it was a sham for more credit. After stating that, finally everything came through and they did not ask for more credit. Thank God.

Three days before close the Title company they chose tells me that they do not have my payoff statement. While I'm supposed to be packing and boxing up things in a rush, and I had to get the U-Haul at 10 that morning, I'm getting calls from Title saying they don't have my payoff statement!? This is something they were supposed to get an order from my mortgage company right off the bat, not three days before close. I gave them my mortgage information as soon as we opened Title back up a month prior.

I called my mortgage company, and they would not allow me to have my payoff statement, it had to be requested from Title and given straight to Title, which is the law, and they should know because that is what their business is. My mortgage company told me it usually takes about a week for them to get my payoff statement to the Title company. Opendoor chose this crap Title company, and now I'm two days before closing and I have the U-Haul in my front yard half full. I'm sitting here packing like crazy getting everything out of my house, and I'm still wondering if I'm actually moving out.

I called Title and spoke to the agent who was working on my case's boss and complained about her incompetence because of this and with my efforts alone I was finally able to get this deal done. By a miracle of God, it pulled through. I gave them half of the credit they originally wanted and they took possession of the house with me rushing out of the house because of all the crap I had to deal with I was struggling to get out on time.

All in all I'm happy with the results of what they paid me, but the entire process was the hardest process I've ever gone through in my ENTIRE life and the most unprofessional one. The level of stress my family and I went through was ridiculous. The only solace I have is that they still have my house on the market and it has not sold for them at what they want. When they listed that house, it was barely above what they paid me and they've been lowering the price. I feel justified and will always tell people not to deal with Opendoor.
